Investments in Machine Learning Drive the Supply Chain Planning Systems Market

New ARC Advisory Group research on the Supply Chain Planning systems market reveals that there is great potential to be able to use machine learning for price optimization.  Arguably, this would be a supply chain solution because it would become part of a demand shaping strategy.  Applying machine learning to traditional demand planning is the base level that suppliers need.  More advanced is the ability to apply AI and machine learning to downstream data and social media.  This greatly improves short-term forecasting.

“Machine learning is very widely used to improve demand planning.  Many suppliers have mentioned investments in machine learning to improve supply planning.  A few suppliers are working to use machine learning to provide prescriptive advice to planners on how to resolve supply chain disruptions,” according to Steve Banker, Vice President, Supply Chain Services at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Supply Chain Planning Systems Global Market Research report.
